UNSPSC 60103002: Decimal squares

UNSPSC 60103002 Decimal squares, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to the state and local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block. The code nominally describes manipulatives used in primary mathematics instruction, yet the actual opportunities posted under or near this code span a much broader scope of educational supplies, classroom materials, therapeutic products, and sensory resources for K–12 schools, higher-education institutions, and state-supported living centers. State and local buyers posting under or tagging opportunities with this code are acquiring Montessori classroom packages (including manipulatives, geography materials, language resources, and nomenclature cards), sensory and therapeutic products through catalog discount pricing, general teaching and instructional materials (mathematics supplies among many other subjects), play therapy kits, habilitation equipment and consumables for supported living centers, STEM kits, and fire prevention educational boxes. The issuing bodies include large urban school districts, county education agencies, state education offices, state health and human services commissions, and county governments. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy Independent School District in Texas, the Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear most frequently in the recent postings.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with single recent opportunities from Oregon, Arizona, the District of Columbia, and New York. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) on October 19, 2026 (response due April 10, 2026) for a comprehensive Montessori classroom supplies catalog of 310 line items including mathematics manipulatives, task cards, and geography materials, with pricing based on unit costs, a 15 percent markup cap, and automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods. Katy Independent School District posted RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across multiple subjects and special education applications, with responses due May 29, 2026, evaluated on purchase price (30%), vendor reputation and quality (25%), and other factors, with contract options to renew annually through October 2030. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited multiple times for habilitation consumables and adaptive equipment—including communication devices, craft supplies, and recreational items—for state-supported living centers under IFBs with response deadlines in July and August 2026, firm pricing, and annual contract terms with one-year extension options. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona) issued RFP260331 in May 2026 for STEM and College & Career Readiness kits and materials on behalf of the SAVE cooperative purchasing consortium, with survey data indicating estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across member jurisdictions and pricing based on catalog discounts, F.O.B.
